I have braces. But I'm lucky, 'cause I'm having them off soon. I agree with a lot of the complaints-braces do, indeed SUCK! *calms* hahaha-I can't understand what my orthodontist says. When I'm there with my mom and he talk to her, she just agrees with what he says. XD...oh, I gotta go back 2moz...T^T

Flossing is a pain, too. I went to the dentist a few weeks ago and they completely flossed my entire mouth really well; I was there for over an hour. It takes forever to use the little floss-threader, and it's difficult, too. ((Floss threader =

Spoiler:

You put the floss through the loop at the top, and then stick the pointy bottom between your teeth, pull it through, remove the threader, and then floss with the...um...floss. XD It's really complicated.))

I hated going to the dentist due to the salt water sprays. It hurt my lips. O.O

Braces. Memories.

My orthodontist had a beer belly or something so every time I went to get things done, my head feels the watery belly and it feels so comfy.

I get different colors every time I go see him. (Pink, purple, blue, etc for free!)

I get lucky, he doesn't scold me. He just sees if "it needs a lot of cleaning or not" and just does his thing while he watches TV!

I can see why you guys thinking it's nerdy but...my friends and some classmates were either jealous or uses it for bonding speech when I got them actually, the opposite effect from being made fun of. They were saying "nooo I want beautiful teeth too! D=! HEY you got new colors!"

XD I was lucky. In a way, braces were "cool" and people had enough of a mind to know they aren't nerdy from where I lived.

And the pain humans go through for "nicer and manageable teeth."

Ah, I have a lavender color. Next time Hmm not sure what to get So many flippin colors it gave me a headache o.o;;

Yeah, the only problem is, I got mine on when everyone else was getting them off. xDD My teeth really weren't horribly, terribly bad to start with. I had a crooked permanent tooth, because the baby tooth fell out too early, and my jaw needed to be slightly realligned. But other than that, they were pretty straight. I'm jealous of my brother; our dentist told him he had a "perfect" bite, and it looked like he had already had braces, even though he didn't. *grumbles*

I had 1 little bit crooked buck tooth. OH MY GAWDDD D8< There was this lady at church when I was little and it was wiggling only a LITTLE bit, she FRIGGIN YANKED IT OUT!!!! D8 *One of my buck tooth btw*

Ooooh, goodie, my orthodontist has given me elastic bands! And even better, arty gets to wear them all the time! Even better x2, arty gets to wear them on her 14th birthday, when she hoped braces would be a distant memory! And arty's next appointment is 9 days after she is 14, at 7:45 in the morning! What a great way to ruin my new term!!!

My best friend during the period I had braces was Advil. I loved it and it made me feel better.

My mom doesn't really let me take a lot of pain relievers. She thinks they're gonna ruin my liver, so I can only take one if I'm writhing in pain. Which happens more often than I'd like to admit. D8

I have braces too, I always get different colors. This time..... FIRE RED AND ICE BLUE! My orthodontist told me not to floss with it, to get a water pick. Still haven't done that yet. LAZY LAZY Wess. >.> He gave me a small tooth bursh to get under my braces though. And it's so hard getting down there. And ever time I gohe tightens them more, then they fall out because they don't get any oxygen.AND WHEN THEY DO GET OXYGEN IT HURTS! And Aiyo, I would have sympathy, but I don't eat red meat

That's unusual. It's not like it's morphine or codine. Now that's some powerfull liver ruining stuff. I helps with pain a lot though apparently.

The thing with braces is that, once you're used to them, you barely notice they're there. For the first few days, your mouth is sore, but then it goes away. That's pretty much the pattern:

Get them on => Pain => Get used to it.Get your wires tightened => Pain => Get used to it.Rubber bands => Pain => Get used to it.

It only takes a few days to get accustomed to the feeling of whatever's new in your mouth, whether it's expanders or the actual braces or rubber bands.
